2013 Map of Erie

About this map

Erie remains a quiet focal point in this portion of Pennington County, defined by a landscape of drainage patterns and local burial grounds. The Red Lake River meanders across the southern portion of the sheet, its winding course contrasting with the rigid grid of section lines and gravel roads that organize the surrounding farmland. Genealogy and local history are anchored by several dispersed sites, including Ekelund Cem near the center and Star Cem and Reiner Cem further to the north and east. The road network, comprising routes like Co Hwy-27 and Mn-1, facilitates movement through this rural district, connecting isolated farmsteads to the larger regional centers beyond the river's banks.
